Marina didn’t expect Dolores to come to visit. She continued to be friendly to Dolores considering Dolores’ relationship with Matthew.

“You came alone?” asked Marina.

“Yes,” Dolores replied softly.

“Who came…” Jeffrey asked while he walked out of the study room. Then, he stopped when he saw Dolores.

Jeffrey looked worried. He didn’t expect Dolores to come to visit either. Matthew looked behind Dolores, and he was a little disappointed when he didn’t see Matthew.

“What do you come here for?” Jeffrey asked in an indifferent tone.

Dolores stood still and stared at Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was related to Dolores in so many ways. She should be feeling happy and nervous when she found out about their relationship.

However, Dolores only felt sorrow.

Jeffrey became nervous after being stared at for too long. He looked away and asked Dolores, “Why do you looking at me like that?”

Dolores continued staring at Jeffrey. She spoke slowly and softly, “Can I talk to you for a second?”

Jeffrey looked sulky, “Did he asked you to come here?”

Jeffrey thought Matthew asked Dolores to be the middleman to reconcile their relationship.

Jeffrey was happy at first.

“No, he didn’t know I’m here.”

Jeffrey frowned and looked unhappy, “I’m nothing to say to you then.”

“Are we enemy now? Can’t we just talk?” Dolores was initially calm, but she was triggered after hearing what Jeffrey said. It wasn’t Jeffrey’s words that hurt her. It was the complicated relationship between them that made Dolores weak and exhausted.

Jeffrey pouted and remained silent.

Marina smiled and tried to mediate between Dolores and Jeffrey. She pulled Jeffrey’s sleeves, “She’s not an outsider. She might have something important to talk to you about. Don’t look at her as an enemy.”

Jeffrey looked less sulky after hearing what Marina said. Marina led Jeffrey into the study room, then she turned around and looked at Dolores, “You should come in too.”
